Karachi Test First Day Between Pakistan-SA Turns Into a T20I

The first day of the most-awaited test match between South Africa (SA) and Pakistan has turned out to be a nightmare for the Pakistani batting line-up as it collapsed again after playing it like a T20I.

After booking Proteas for 220, Pakistan also lost its four wickets just for 33 runs on the first day of the test match.

Some 14 wickets fell on the first day of the test match between South Africa and Pakistan being played after 14 years at the National Stadium in Karachi.

From the latest scores, it seems like the Pakistani batting line-up has no idea how to play, even on its home pitch.

Pakistan has lost its premier batsman Babar Azam along with the other three batsmen of its top order and the first test match is turning out to be a nightmare for the host.

Before the start of the second day of the first test match, the visitors are in a dominating position.

The demoralized host will have to resume the batting on the second day with 33 runs on the scoreboard.

With its senior batsman Azhar Ali and Fawad Alam on the crease, Pakistan would have to fight to stretch the day in its favor.

The cricket experts say that the pitch of the National Stadium Karachi looks like the match would not extend to five days but it would conclude in four days.

Certainly, the nightmare performance of team Pakistan against SA on the first day of the test match may vindicate the assumption.
